Yes, the Memo text is listed twice, once on each account transfer.

It would be useful if the Finish Reconcile dialog allowed you to key in the
Notes text for the transaction (e.g. "7/15/01 Statement").  I suggest this
because the Notes text is visible in a double-line register, whereas the
Memo isn't unless you select a transaction and hit the Split key.  Makes it
easier to scan the register for a transaction.

In its absense, I modified the transaction Notes field of the generated
transaction after reconciling.

Is "Notes" also called "Description"?  The Find Transactions tool doesn't
have the former but it does have the latter.
